Mixed signals

A short poem about mixing up signals, just as easy to do when meeting someone new as when driving a train, though less dangerous.

It’s hard sometimes,

To read between the lines,

To track our direction,

And read all the signs

Never quick to learn,

We crash and we burn,

When we do, there’s no plan B,

And now I understand why those train drivers were so angry
